Very honored to re-install, “When they come back–if Blossoms do–” at Wave Hill for the 2021 Art & Nature Entwined Gala honoring Jennifer McGregor. The work will be on view during the Gala and for the weekend of May 21-23, 2021. [Please note advance reservations are required, info at WaveHill.org]

Wave Hill notes, “For more than two decades, Jennifer curated indoor and outdoor exhibitions, immersive theater performances and experimental dance and music. She also served as a mentor and advocate for artists by launching the Winter Workspace Artist Residency and Sunroom Project series, two important artist-incubator programs. By providing opportunities for both artists and audiences to discover and engage with the natural world, Jennifer set Wave Hill apart from museums and gardens across the country.”

“When they come back-if Blossoms do-” was and is a collaboration with the interpretive gardeners at Wave Hill.  In 2007, I worked closely with Charles Day and in 2021, Jess Brey is my collaborator.  This type of a project–collaborations between interpretive gardeners and artists–exemplifies the thoughtful work done by Jennifer McGregor at Wave Hill.

“When they come back–if Blossoms do–“ a series of copper plant labels linking plants grown and written about by Emily Dickinson with the same plants growing at Wave Hill. Originally installed in 2007 in the exhibition ‘Emily Dickinson Rendered.’ This project was a collaboration with WH’s Horticultural Interpreter, Charles Day. [Image by Benjamin Swett].
